With E3 fading in the rearview mirror, the next major video game convention is just days away! Gamescom kicks off in Cologne, Germany on August 21st. The week-long event is sure to be packed with announcements (including an Xbox presentation from Microsoft), and it's also a chance to highlight the best of the best when it comes to upcoming games.

Ahead of the big event, Gamescom has just released the complete list of nominees for The Gamescom Awards 2018. Over 100 nominations were submitted, and a panel of journalists and YouTubers have whittled them down to the final choices in each category, which you can view below. Attendees of the event will also be able to vote for Best Streamer/Let's Player, Best Developer, and Best Publisher via the official Gamescom app. This also includes the Gamescom "Most Wanted" Consumer award.
